Layer: Rare Species Habitat Conservation Priorities (ID: 2)

Name: Rare Species Habitat Conservation Priorities

Display Field: RASTER_CATEGORY

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This data set was developed as part of the Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment. The FNAI Habitat Conservation Priorities data layer prioritizes places on the landscape that would protect both the greatest number of rare species and those species with the greatest conservation need. We developed the data layer by first selecting species with the greatest conservation need in Florida and developing habitat maps around known occurrences of those species. The Inventory currently has more than 28,000 occurrence records for Florida's rare and endangered species in the form of point locations. For this data layer we wanted to identify habitat areas, based on these point locations, that represent the geographic extent of the species occurrence on the landscape. We created habitat polygons only around known occurrences, rather than creating polygons of potential habitat where no occurrence records exist. In using this method, we are able to definitively say that acquisition of a habitat area serves to protect a particular species because we have documentation of the species at that site. The habitats were then ranked based on quality/suitability for the species. The final dataset is a weighted species richness overlay of individual species habitat models for 634 species, including 283 invertebrates, 244 plants, and 106 vertebrates. Species are weighted according to Heritage Global Rarity Rank, Percent Protected on Conservation Lands, Taxonomic Distinctiveness, and Endemism. For detailed methods see the Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment Technical Report, available online at https://www.fnai.org/conslands/florida-forever. Value 1 = Priority 1 (Highest) Value 2 = Priority 2 Value 3 = Priority 3 Value 4 = Priority 4 Value 5 = Priority 5 Value 6 = Priority 6
